Mystery Technique #147

February 20, 2025 – 7:34 pm

Curious about the techniques used here? You can learn more next month if you’ve signed up for email updates! 

ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #146:

I started by applying 3 different granulating watercolors to wet paper and partially mixed them wet-in-wet, letting some of the brushstrokes show. Next I used the end of a stiff plastic card to scrape a few irregular light lines into the damp paint. After the paper was completely dry, I dipped a goose feather into wet paint and added dark expressive lines, twisting the feather to vary the thickness and direction of the linear marks. I also continued using the plastic card to quickly scrape away some of the dark color before it dried.
